It says that any laws beyond what is enumerated in the 14th Amendment that restrict the right to vote, like CA's law denying voter registration to people who have been declared insane, etc. would count.

In addition, state laws denying the ability to vote, like WI's voter ID law (which you have to show when you try to vote), some 300k people, would also count.
